At this point it's fully safe to say that Trump is delivering as expected.

Worse actually.

Yes, this time he has surrounded himself with the village idiots, whereas the first time he had some folks that could tie a shoe lace until they explained reality to him!!

Loyalty tactics he has gleaned from his jealousy of Putin, et al. !!

How about if us "blue" states stop sending our money to the Fed. Maybe WE should stop funding THEM!

As a Californian, I wish we could.

Most of the red states rely on federal handouts to fund their annual operating budgets; there's no way they could handle tornado, flood, or hurricane damage without putting their hands out to the federal government - meaning us. I'm all for letting the red states pull themselves up by their own boot straps for a change. I'm tired of paying support to these welfare queens.

Also, I am tired of those that put down California. I like the diversity AND that it is a blue state.

I chalk a lot of it up to pure jealousy.

Thank you very much!😊

I was also asking how I can subscribe to the Meidas+ Substack. Does anyone know how I can do that? They ask for paid subscribers but I don’t see a subscribe button anywhere on their posts! Thanks for any assistance with this!!

Expand full comment

Just click on the 'subscribe' link in each post.

All I see on the posts is a “manage subscription” link, but when I press on it it says subscription can’t be managed in the app! I’ve subscribed to a lot of substacks and this is the only one I have any trouble with!

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the Republicans plan all along. Win the election using the 🟠🤡 and then kick him to the curb.

I've thought that for a long time.

Seriously. If I were The Felon, I wouldn't let JD stand behind me in an elevator.

It’s too early. They need to wait a bit, so that Mr Vance can run in 2028 (and win) and then run again in 2032 (and win again). That way he could be president for close to 10 years.

Expand full comment

I suspect the danger will come shortly after the mid-terms, especially if the republicans lose the house [likely] and/or the senate [possible]. I think you might be overestimating Vance's appeal among MAGAs. They're devoted to Trump, but Vance? Not so much.

For Mike Johnson too.

💯💙

Expand full comment

Exactly 👍

Expand full comment

Let's not wait this time. The people need to speak out if Congress won't

Expand full comment

TBH they would probably go this route if they thought they could get away with installing numbnuts Vance, then Johnson would move up to the "veep" spot, but it would diminish their numbers in the House.

They're like the parents who didn't know giving their kid a bag of gummy worms and a Big Gulp, then turning him loose in a toy store wouldn't result in chaos.

I don't think they know what to do about him because they are genuinely afraid of his cult, but they definitely don't want to be stuck with the "bill" for trying to "buy Greenland" or pick a fight with Canada.

They just wanted to stick it to poor women and brown people.

How many promises has he broke already? What are the price of eggs have they gone up? Sure haven’t gone down and what about those word that he said “groceries!” ! Trump is losing it mentally and physically just watch how he walks and talks

Our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was on the radio again today. Preparing for the Trumpian Tariffs is taking place during all hours of the day. We will be ready when this......#&%#$#$%&%$......puts these needless tariffs into action.

Excellent - I know the pain will be felt here in the states - but - wtf! This is egregious!! maybe that will help to get the FOTUS thrown out!

I just heard on the news that egg prices are going up by .50 to about $6.50 in my area (NY).

Bird flu that forced killing of thousands of chickens. I don't mind. Better than contracting Bird Flu.

The egg shelves were empty in our local Target. With a sign apologizing and saying they are trying to find other vendors. How? There are only so many egg vendors and all stores are trying to contract with them. How are they "going to find" someone else?

I'm getting the same rude awakening feeling as when I went into a store at the beginning of COVID and saw people scrambling for toilet paper and the empty shelves. "Is this COVID for real?" I said at the time. Now, I'm wondering if we at the beginning of critical egg shortages and continuing higher prices? How will this affect the food industry that relies on eggs? Will prices continue to go up? Will Bird Flu spread among human population?

I had a friend who raised his own chickens. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep the raccoons from raiding his coop and killing the birds, so he gave up.

Expand full comment

I used to raise them. It isn't as easy as some people make it out to be.

Expand full comment

And it can be expensive....the food and calcium prices will be going up. Also, it takes a lot of water for chickens.

Coffee going up to due to climate change-well, Trump pulled out of that so we should be fine!! Not!!!

Our Safeway in Oregon was out of them because of Bird Flu problem in December, through Christmas. I haven't tried to get any recently, so I don't know if they are still having an issue, it's not on their weekly sales flyers anymore saying that they don't have eggs, so I assume they do. I just thought I would wait a bit longer.

I just spent 9.95 for a dozen eggs in southern california at stater brothers grocery chain.

Need to change grocers? They are 3-5$,in Missouri but higher at Whole Foods

Try Aldi. They tend to be a little less aggressive in price.

Expand full comment

What kind of eggs are you buying for God's sake?!!!

The last lot of eggs I bought was £2.20 for 10.

I can check out Aldi tomorrow and report back.

Google “Just Egg.” Same taste and texture but more nutrition and protein. I make my daily Beyond Meat sausage and “egg” breakfast sandwich with it every day.

Same here in NJ.

He truly sounds like a drunkard.

Expand full comment

Egg prices are going up because of the spread of avian flu, which is also why they're becoming scarce at the grocery store. Same with milk. That's why The Felon told Hannity that he doesn't care about the economy. His concern about 'groceries' and the prices of anything evaporated once the election was over. He doesn't need the MAGAs to vote for him anymore, so they and their concerns dropped off his radar.

He’s talking about homeless people living in drainage culverts and storm drains. Those are his “half pipes”. He’s a lunatic.

Biden has immunity! 🙃

Expand full comment

Other than the $10 thou he got back for Hunter’s truck default loan what outside of Biden presidency could be investigated?

Expand full comment

Biden HAD immunity. Now that he's no longer President, that immunity no longer exists.

Expand full comment

For the millions who love and respect Biden, the "last straw" would be trump announcing he's going to "deport" the former president.

Immunity is WHILE HE WAS THE PRESIDENT.

Yes, and Trump will find that out once more in 4 years!!:)
